You sat up in your small inn bed. It's been awhile since the raid and floor 49 turned out to be a cute little village called "Myujen." It was almost around Christmas time and you heard that Myujen was already decorated in a Christmas theme.

"Ready to go?" You barge into Kirito's room. You both got to know each other quite well after the boss incident. You actually became quite closer than you already were.

"yes I'm ready, I just got to grab somethings." You waiting for him to pull things out of his inventory that consisted of a winter hat and a black thin winter coat. You and Kirito were going to visit Floor 49 today to see the beautiful Christmas decorations. You walked out into the chilly air and walked towards the teleport gate. You both traveled to the small village of Myujen.

When you both arrived in a plaza. you saw a clock tower and a bunch of 3 story looking buildings with arches. You also noticed a Church with the biggest, brightest, Christmas tree you had ever seen. It shined millions of starry like lights. It was the first thing you and Kirito stared at.

"It's amazing" you and Kirito said in unison staring and the gigantic tree. It looked as if you both were hypnotized by the gorgeous sight in front of you. "Let's go into one of the gift shops." You smile at him breaking the peaceful silence. He nodded.

You both made your way the little area with all the gift shops. It was very cute. Aincrad would sometimes have gift shops located on a few floors. You both pressed your faces to the window melting the ice off the glass and hurried inside. They had stuffed animals, keychains really anything you would find in a normal gift shop.

You picked up a small black fluffy bear with a Christmas hat and handed it to Kirito and smiled. "I never asked you.. Want do you want for Christmas?" You asked looking into his midnight orbs. He laughed. "I don't need anything (f/n). Just having you by my side is really all I want." He blushes after realizing what he just said. You giggled and blushed back at him and gently punched his arm. "Your adorable you know that." He just blushed even more. "N-no I'm not (f/n)"

You ended up buying that black bear for him without him even knowing even though he kept telling you not to buy it. You skipped back to the snowy plaza and saw NPC people caroling. They looked and sounded like any other player. It was still weird to think they were just computers. You remembered you had a small side quest where you had to give the main caroler a gift of gratitude. You really didn't have anything that would be called a "gift" so you walked up to the caroler and handed her a little box of cookies. She smiled and a small banner appeared before you. "QUEST COMPETE" it read and the reward tab popped up. The reward was a (fav color) warm fluffy scarf. You smiled and accepted the reward and opened your clothing bar. You dragged the scarf onto the avatar of you it had on the screen. There was a small flag when it appeared around your chilly neck. You noticed Kitito right behind you.

"Wow I never finished that quest." He said nervously scratching his head. You laughed at him. "That's because you choose to do all the hard story quests." He just blushed. "Yeah... Well anyway I got a thing for you while you were doing your quest and stuff." He pulled up his inventory with a swipe of his fingers and pulled out a small glass item and handed it to you. You stared in wonder and the object like you always did to beautiful things. It was a snow globe of the village you and him were currently in. You noticed the big tree in the center of the village behind the glass and beamed at the black haired boy.

"Thank you so much Kirito I love it so much." He smiled his adorable smile at you and watched as you shook the globe in your hands. The snow in the globe looked like it was made of crystals. The sun shining on the glass ball made it even shinier. You and kirito then heard a voice behind you.

"Hey Kirito" a shy voice spoke. We both turned to see an adorable girl with black hair and a beauty mark under one of her eyes. "Hello Sachi." Kirito turned and walked towards her hugging her. She blushed. "It's been awhile." Kirito smiled at her.

I remembered kirito telling me about her. For about a month I stayed with (f/n) and Klein before I was this close to Kirito. He told me he had to go somewhere to help someone and that he would be back soon. He did return soon with a smile on his face. He told me everything that happened. He apparently helped another small guild for awhile called "the moonlit black cats." He became close to the girl Sachi and helped her become stronger as she was lacking in leveling up. She also had very bad anxiety and worried a lot that she would die. Kirito promised she wouldn't and they because good friends. He helped them all level and gain furniture for the house the guild all bought. They all thought as kirito as family to them but sadly Kirito told them he had to leave but he would return for a Visit.

"Is this a friend of yours?" The girl asked towards you shyly. You walked up to where kirito and the girl were standing and smiled gently at her. "Yes I'm (f/n). It's very nice to meet you Sachi. Kirito had told me a lot about you." She blushed again. "R-really?" You nodded. "He had a lot of fun helping you all" you smiled again. Kirito glanced at Sachis level. "Woah Sachi you've been training hard!" He encouraged her while patting her on the back. "T-thanks" she spoke looking down smiling.

While they were talking you rummaged through your inventory items and pulled out the adorable black bear with the Santa hat. In the item description it said if you slept with it you gained a single level only once. You held the small plush in your hands. "Excuse me" you politely tapped on Sachi's shoulder. She turned towards you and smiled. "What is it (f/n)?" You held then near out to her and smiled back at her. "Here. It's a small little gift I wanted to give you." Her eyes widened at the bear and she gently picked it up. "It you sleep with it you gain a level so use it when you want to level in your sleep!" You giggled at her. "Thank you so much (f/n)! I-I dont know what to say!" She shyly gasped. "Then don't say anything if you don't want to." You giggled at her. You had to admit you wanted to use the bear yourself as it was quite expensive and a rare item to find in a gift shop in Aincrad. Maybe it was a limited time item for Christmas? You didn't know. All you know is that you were glad to see her face glow after seeing it. You didn't know her that well but she needed it more than you did.

You had added Sachi as a friend and promised to see her on the actual day of Christmas. You and kirito waved your goodbyes to her and she walked off holding the bear in her arms humming a Christmas song.

You spent a long day in the town ice skating, walking, eating, exploring and even a little sledding with Kirito. There was a small part outside the city that was covered in tall pine trees. You and kirito walked through the paths with linked arms watching the snow pile up over the ground slowly. You had a fun little idea. You unlinked your arm with his and plopped down in the snow. You packed some of the powdery snow in your glove and rolled it against the forest floor until it was huge. Kirito seemed to understand what you were doing and followed your actions by doing the same. You both in no time made two snow people. They weren't perfect but they were cute with their crooked smiles and arms. You smiled and reached up to Kirito's head and slipped off the hat he had and placed it on the snowman you made. He smirked at you and slipped off your scarf and placed it on his snowman. You both backed up to admire your beautiful work when the the head of Kirito's fell to the freezing ground causing the snowball to split in two. He slumped and laughed a little. "Well at least it was pretty while it lasted." You laughed. You fell over and pulled him down with you. He kind of freaked out a little. "(F/n)?! What are you doing??" His pink cheeks flushed more. Your (h/l) (h/c) hair was full of clumpy snow but you ignored it. "We are making snow angels." You said towards him as you spread your arms and legs and started to make an angel In the snow. Kirito sighed. "You know you remind me a lot of my younger sister. She's so cheerful sometimes and makes me do stuff with her." Then he smiled. "When we make it back to the real world I'm sure she will be your new best friend." He chucked. You were surprised. He had never told you anything about his real life. You've wanted to ask him but in SAO it was something most people didn't like to talk about. It was as though it was a rule you couldn't speak about the real world. "Well I can't wait to meet her then." You smiled and stood up brushing the powder off your pants. You gazed at your snow angel. It was beautiful. Kirito stood up slowly also brushing the bright snow off his dark clothes and you both glanced at his angel he attempted to make. You suddenly burst out laughing at him. "Oh my god kirito it looks like a Blob!" You were laughing so hard you fell to your knees. "It looks fine!" He yelled his face heating up. You wiped away your frozen tears an looked at him composing yourself. "I bet you were popular with the ladies in real life." You grinned.
